Depends what features you want...

If you want hylafax to *automatically* answer only certain calls, you
will need distinctive ring or something like that.

If you can live with answering all your calls yourself, and
"instructing" hylafax to answer some others, you can use the faxanswer
command (or write your one simple programe, etc...) connected to
something like a remote, serial switch, web-page, etc) to tell hylafax
to answer a line, having it not answer by default (RingsBeforeAnswer: 0).
